With a length of more than 215 inches and a curb weight of more than two tons, the 1993 Buick Roadmaster is larger than the average full-size sedan. Luckily for the Roadmaster and its owners, the engineers at Buick gave it an engine strong enough to get it on down the road with ease.
Engine Size
Only one engine was available with the 1993 Roadmaster: a 5.7-liter V8 with an automatic transmission. This engine was introduced on the 1992 Roadmaster. The 1994 Roadmaster would get a Corvette LT1 engine. The 1993 model's 5.7-liter engine has an actual displacement volume of 5,737 cubic centimeters.
